Mount the base plate. There is no need to tighten the screws M3x9mm screws for now. After inserting the Raspberry Pi, tighten it.
The location of the Raspberry Pi will differ according to the cables and sockets you will use.
The base plate in the box is designed to provide almost all placement positions of the Raspberry Pi.
If there are cables that need to rotate in the placement in the box, choose them from the flexible ones or choose from the cables with 90 degree socket.
Pass the cables you want to use through the cable entry point and connect to Raspberry Pi.
Determine a position in the box where the cables are most comfortable. You can mark this place with a marker, or it's easy to remember.
Disconnect the cables and remove the base plate.
Mount the Raspberry Pi to the indicated position using the M2.5x10mm screws in sequence.

Re-pass the cables through the frame opening and insert the Raspberry Pi into their places. Put the Raspberry Pi back.
Identify the suitable IP-certified inserts for your cables. Attach the cables to the inserts and bring the inserts to the closest point to the box.
Remove the Raspberry Pi and pull it out with the cables. Be careful not to move the inserts.
Place the inserts in the frame.
